Twitter's 7 golden rules for successful campaigns

  • Color is one of the first things Twitter users notice when they scroll through their news feeds. Creating eye-catching visuals is imperative to get noticed and attract clicks.

  • Conduct creative tests to determine the best performing images based on the overall objective of your campaign and your target audience.

  • Twitter aims to offer last-minute content. Seasonal ad campaigns align your advertising with the spirit of Twitter and encourage engagement.

  • Adapt your images and advertising text to appeal to specific audiences and demographics for greater impact.

  • Twitter is synonymous with short, concise messages. Make sure your ads are as direct as possible. A single message with clear text about what the user can expect if they click on your ad is the best approach.

  • Make sure your Twitter ads contain messages that convey what your brand represents. This way, the ads will be remembered by your audience.

  • Don't overuse hashtags or mentions in your ads. If you use an @mention in your ad, make sure it's relevant to your campaign message and limit the hashtags in your ad to a maximum of two or three. If there are too many, they may distract from your main message and encourage people to click away from your ad.
